About Ukraine

The map shows Ukraine, a country at the crossroads between

Europe and Asia situated in eastern Europe, north of the Black Sea
and the Sea of Azov. Ukraine's fertile land was known as the
breadbasket of the Soviet Union; now, it has become the
breadbasket of Europe.

With an area of 600,000 km², it is the second-largest country in Europe after

European Russia, twice the size of Italy or slightly smaller than the US state of
Texas. Ukraine borders Belarus, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, and
Slovakia.

The landscape of Ukraine consists mainly of plains and plateaus, except the
Carpathians in the west. Mount Hoverla (Hora Hoverla) is at 2.061 m (6.760 ft.),
the highest peak in the country.

Ukraine's major rivers are the Dniester, the Southern Bug (Pivdennyi Buh), the
Desna, the Donets, and the Dnieper (Dnipro), a vital waterway and the longest
river in Ukraine with its large water reservoirs, the Kremenchuk Reservoir and the
Kakhovka Reservoir.

Ukraine has a population of 41.3 million people (in 2021); the capital and largest
city is Kiev (Kyiv) with a population of 2.9 million; the city is a major industrial,
scientific, educational, and cultural center in Eastern Europe. Spoken languages
are Ukrainian (official), Russian is widely spoken, especially in eastern and
southern parts of the country.

More about Ukraine

Geography of Ukraine
Ukraine is the largest
country in Europe (including
Crimea). About 95% of the
country is flat, because it is
located on the territory of
the East European Plain.
There are only two regions
in the country where there
are mountains: in the
western part of Ukraine are
the Eastern Carpathians,
part of the Carpathian
Mountains, a mountain
range that spans Central
and Eastern Europe. There
is the highest mountain in
Ukraine, Mount Hoverla, at
2061 meters. In the
southern part of the
Crimean Peninsula are the
Crimean Mountains, which
stretch along the southeast
coast of the Black Sea for a Monument of Independence on Maidan Nezalezhnosti, the
length of about 150 km. central square of Kyiv.

elevation of the Crimean
Mountains with 1545 m.

Rivers in Ukraine
Ukraine is a country rich in rivers. A large number of streams, rivers and creeks
flow through Ukraine in whole or in part. Most rivers flow into the Black Sea, a few
into the Baltic Sea. Among the most important rivers of Ukraine are the Danube,
the Dnieper and the Dniester. The Dniester creates a long section of Ukraine's
border with Moldova. The Danube, Europe's second-longest river, and its Chilia
branch form the border between Ukraine and Romania. The Dnieper (Dnipro), the
longest river in Ukraine, rises in Russia and flows in a southerly direction for about
2,200 km (1,370 mi) through Ukraine, emptying into the Black Sea at Kherson.

Natural resources of Ukraine

The vast country is rich in natural resources in high concentrations, including iron
ore, coal, manganese, natural gas, oil, petroleum, salt, sulfur, graphite. Other
deposits are titanium ore, magnesium, bauxite, kaolin, nickel, and mercury
(cinnabar).
Ukraine's coal mines are among the deepest in Europe.
Other natural resources are timber and arable land. Hydropower plants take third
place in Ukraine's energy sector, after thermal energy (coal and natural gas) and
nuclear energy.

Natural hazards in Ukraine

Ukraine is exposed to the risk of hydrometeorological hazards and natural
disasters due to seasonal floods and droughts, which mainly affect agriculture and
human health. The threat from flooding in rivers and cities and from forest fires is
rated high. [WB]

Environmental issues in Ukraine

Ukraine faces a number of environmental problems, most notably air pollution,
water resource quality, and soil degradation. Other issues include solid waste
management, biodiversity loss, and human health related to environmental risk
factors.
